Guitar 1 (6 string accoustic) {Play 2x, then as rythm for lyrics}
As you walk alone the night surrounds you like a shroud
The dreams you had were once of love and being proud
Misty horizons block your vision of the world

Rythm
Val hal la
The Kingdom of Odin is the Kingdom of Gods
Where only souls of the brave may rest in peace
But someone among them had the skill of deceit
And raised the hand that would open the road to Hel

Chorus { pm }
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
Be sure that the blood will start to flow
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
Return to rythm
Valhalla Valhalla
The ring is broken and a soul must be saved
Among the bravest of men, who rides to Hel
The longships are sailing and the chariots ride
And yes the anger of Thor will serve you well
{Chorus}

So raise your hands
Reach an Valhalla will save your soul
Raise you eyes
Odin will lead us on
{Back to main rythm}
They say that history repeats itself
Upon the year of the seventh Century
But nobody knows no you never can tell
So you'd better run now and hide away
{Chorus}
